Time and time again it never ends
When you start as lovers you can’t be friends
You’d think we’d know now how to right the wrongs
My efforts fail to make you feel you belong
We love, we fight, I’m wrong, you’re right
I’m not outta my head
We shout we cry, I don’t know why

I know what you want me to say
But my pride gets in the way
No one wins the games we play
All the words get in the way
All the words get in the way

Here it comes again my guilt filled friend
Throwing threatening glances, it won’t work again
It’s what I do, it’s what I say, it’s how I turn you away
It’s all the things that I can’t claim
We’re out of touch, it’s much to much
So we tell lies instead
Hell it was fun, I’ll find someone

I know what you want me to say
But my pride gets in the way
No one wins the games we play
All the words get in the way
All the words get in the way

We can’t erase mistakes we’ve made
It’s in your eyes to walk away
And my pride can’t make you stay
I know what you want me to say
But my pride gets in the way

I know what you want me to say
But my pride gets in the way
No one wins the games we play
All the words get in the way
All the words get in the way
